Chapter 61: Free Exploration Quest Opens
Chapter 61
Fourth question, what is Dad\'s least favorite color?
As the questions changed, the answers from the children were also all over the place, only Ji Ruochu answered fluently without even blinking her eyes.
The bullet screen was filled with envy for the father-daughter relationship, but only Ji Ruochu herself knew clearly that the reason she knew all this was because...
In her previous life, she had a long feud with that jerk, so much so that many of Ji Mochen\'s landmines were due to the influence of Ling Chujin and herself.
For example, Ji Mochen\'s most hated color was Tan Ruo\'s fan support color - sky blue.
And Ji Mochen\'s most hated food was the sweets that Ling Chujin often made for idol Tan Ruo.
Ji Ruochu thought it was quite magical that one day she would win a game relying on these outrageous understandings.
"It seems that besides baby Ruochu, the other babies still have room to improve their understanding of Dad!"
Undoubtedly, after a few questions, Ji Ruochu\'s score had long been firmly seated on the throne of first place, even though... Ji Mochen was still at the bottom in the dad ranking.
"Congratulations Ruochu for successfully winning today\'s fish hot pot!"
With Xu Chuan\'s announcement, the four defeated (?) little ones sighed in succession, also looking a little discouraged.
"Babies don\'t be discouraged. Although the fish hot pot already belongs to sister Ruochu, there are other dishes waiting for you!"
Seeing the little ones were not interested, Xu Chuan immediately started damage control procedures.
"The remaining four dishes will be allocated according to the number of fish caught by the dads. So whether you have a feast for dinner depends on how many fish your dads caught."
Almost as he was speaking, four exquisitely prepared dishes were brought out, and the children\'s eyes lit up again.
[Hmm? Is it my illusion? I always feel like the program team has recently... become very rich?]
[+1, look at the dishes from before, they were completely just countryside farmhouse fare!]
[I reasonably suspect that the Ji family has made additional investments.]
While the children were drooling over the dishes on the table, the dads had also completed today\'s task, each carrying a small bucket of water and walking towards the children.
"Dad!!"
The little ones ran faster than the other when they saw their dads.
"Ruochu!!"
Ji Mochen quickly went past the other children and arrived in front of his well-behaved and soft and cute daughter.
On the other side, the four dads thought the children were going to give them a hug, and they all squatted down and got ready -
"Dad, how many fish did you catch?"
"Dad, I want to eat that fish head dish!"
"Dad, did you catch the most?"
Amidst the cries of "Dad how many fish did you catch", the dads\' hearts of fatherly love instantly cooled by half.
On the other side.
"Ruochu, are you hungry?"
Ji Mochen looked at the honey water in the milk bottle that was almost empty, and asked.
Ji Ruochu shook her head: "Not hungry."
After answering, she also peeked at the bucket by his feet.
Hmm, it looks like there\'s no hope for those four dishes, there were only four fish in the bucket.
"Cough." Ji Mochen coughed lightly, forcibly salvaging some face, "It\'s okay, we still have rations at home. If it comes down to it, Dad can cook noodles for you -"
Before he could finish speaking, a program staff member brought over a white porcelain pot.
"This is the dish Ruochu won."
Ji Mochen: ???
Ji Ruochu pushed aside a lock of hair by her cheek, and very generously said: "Don\'t worry, Ruochu will treat you for dinner tonight~"
Ji Mochen: ......
[Look at our Ruochu, what a generous child!]
[Here the post-production should add the words: Me and my useless pastry chef of a father.]
[I\'m really going to die of laughter, where did this child learn so many memes? Where did she learn this pretentious "I\'ll treat you" attitude?]
On this side, the Ji father and daughter fell into awkward silence, while on the other side, the families were filled with laughter and chatter.
Since it was getting late, the program team did not delay any further, and quickly announced the rankings of the dads, and distributed the still steaming hot dishes.
"Also, because the quality of rice seedling planting by the dads earlier all met the villagers\' requirements, each family will receive a start-up fund."
Just as everyone was about to leave, Xu Chuan suddenly took out five envelopes and handed them to each dad.
"In the next seven days, the dads have to use the funds in the envelopes to prepare breakfast for the children. Also, the program team has randomly set up daily tasks around the village.
Each task has a specific trigger time, for example, the water fetching task can only be done between 7-8am in the morning. The egg collecting task is usually around 10am and 3pm in the afternoon...
The specific tasks need to be explored by the dads and children themselves. For every task completed, they will obtain the corresponding ingredients and points.
When the points reach a certain value, they can exchange for desired daily necessities or the children\'s snacks and toys that were previously confiscated, at the village chief\'s place."
After saying all that in one breath, Xu Chuan took a break, before continuing:
"Alright, the babies can now go home with Dad to enjoy the food."
As soon as he said that, the children immediately cheered and bounced along home with their fathers.
In between, Fan Jin and Geng Zhenzhen also wanted to invite sister Ruochu over to their homes for dinner, but were rejected.
"We\'ll play together after eating~"
After all, the ingredients obtained by the two families were not a lot either. Plus Ji Mochen\'s attitude towards the two families had always been lukewarm, clearly this was not the time for a gathering.
"Okay..." Fan Jin and Geng Zhenzhen were a little disappointed, but still politely bid farewell, "See you later sister, goodbye Uncle Ji~"
"See you later~"
Ji Ruochu smiled and waved at her two friends, while Ji Mochen\'s expression was indifferent on the surface, he still nodded with a slight smile.
And so the earlier group livestream once again split into five separate livestreams, with the audience going to watch their preferred families.
Naturally, the one with the largest audience was still the ever-popular Ji father-daughter duo. For example right now:
[Speaking of which, isn\'t Ji Mochen\'s attitude towards the two children too cold?]
[I think it\'s quite normal. If it were me, I wouldn\'t be able to have a good expression towards those who caused my daughter to fall into the water.]
[I can kind of understand him. Although the two children didn\'t mean it, I really feel heartache for his well-behaved, soft and cute daughter. He can only be so indifferent.]
Similarly, Ji Ruochu also sensed his complicated feelings. She thought for a while, then reluctantly grabbed onto the corner of her father\'s clothes.
And with this tug, she successfully made the father, who was holding a fish pot in one hand and a bucket in the other, bloom with joy. He almost instantly discarded his earlier complicated feelings and launched into his daily rainbow farting.
"As expected of my daughter, winning first place again!"
"Luckily I have my daughter, otherwise Dad would definitely go hungry today..."
"Dear daughter, what else do you want to eat tonight? Dad will get it for you!"
In the glow of the setting sun, the adult and child slowly strolled along, the swaying bucket occasionally splashing out some water.
The man\'s chatter and the child\'s tender voice wove together, creating a hugely soothing scene.
[Little Scene]
Many years ago.
Manager Liang Qing: Ruochu, Ji\'s manager contacted me saying he wants to invite you to be the officiant for his wedding, want to go?
Tan Ruo: I won\'t go, I\'m very busy okay?
Liang Qing: I checked your schedule, you\'re free that day.
Tan Ruo: Still won\'t go, to watch him show off?
Liang Qing: The Ji family sent over three top luxury endorsements.
Tan Ruo: ......
Cough, whether to take the endorsements doesn\'t matter. Mainly want to witness the fans\' love.
At the subsequent wedding.
Tan Ruo: Bride, are you certain and definite that the man before you is the one you want to entrust your whole life to?
With tears brimming in her eyes, Ling Chujin said assuredly: I am cert—
Tan Ruo: It\'s okay, don\'t be afraid. If you\'re unwilling, I\'ll take you away.
Ji Mochen beside them: ?!!
Damn, I paid to hire a time bomb here!
